construction of the launch site was well underway in September 2018. New Glenn will be a very large -diameter vehicle. The first stage will be powered by seven BE-4 methane/oxygen engines producing total thrust at launch. The first stage will be reusable and is designed to land vertically. Blue has also leased the adjacent land—formerly known as LC-11—to use as a ground-based rocket engine test facility. Construction of the new launch complex and engine test facility was still underway in September 2018. Although Blue has been publicly quiet about the status of the launch complex construction, high-resolution aerial photography released after Hurricane Dorian in September 2019 showed that facility foundation work is in place—including for the horizontal integration facility, the launch service structure, lightning tower, and water tower—and above-ground steel construction has commenced. The propellant tank farm is in the process of being installed.
